[quote=Anonymous]8:52 yet again.  You have [b]got[/b] to see [i]Frontier House[/i]!  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontier_House From Wikipedia:

[i]Frontier House is a historical reality television series that originally aired on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in the United States from April 29 to May 3, 2002. The series followed three family groups that agreed to live as homesteaders did in the state of Montana on the American frontier in 1883. Each family was expected to establish a homestead and complete the tasks necessary to prepare for the harsh Montana winter. At the end of the series, each family was judged by a panel of experts and historians on their likelihood of survival for each group.[/i]

It was amazing!  It was historically accurate and fascinating to see what life was like on the frontier, how difficult it was and what failure meant.  One family was a newlywed - it was an interracial couple and they got married on the show.  The series talked about AA in the west and what life was like for them.  The second family was from the upper south and was a blended family - stepfather, mother and 2 kids.  The third family was an affluent family from Malibu with 2 kids plus a teenage cousin.  The wife in that family was an Irish immigrant.  It would be great to show this to the kids to see what life used to be like. But, I think there's one scene where one of the men talked about his desire for sex but the wife said she was just too damn tired.[/quote]
